RanTub Pt.1

Chapter 4

April 12th, 3240. . .

I woke up to the sound of a soft vwoop and Ender language. "Get up..." I sit up and allow my eyes to adjust to the dark room. The clock says 6:00 am. Ranboo's multicoloured eyes glow from next to the door. He speaks in Ender as he glances out the crack in the door. "⌇⌿⟒⏃☍ ⟟⋏ ⟒⋏⎅⟒⍀ ⏃⌇ ⏁⍜ ⋏⍜⏁ ⌇⟒⏁ ⍜⎎⎎ ⏁⊑⟒ ⏃⌰⏃⍀⋔⌇. ⎎⍜⌰⌰⍜⍙ ⋔⟒ ⏃⋏⎅ ⋏⟒⎐⟒⍀ ⌇⏁⍀⏃⊬ ⏁⍜⍜ ⎎⏃⍀ ⏚⟒⊑⟟⋏⎅. ⏁⊑⟒ ⟒⋏⎅⟒⍀ ⏃⍀⟒ ⟟⋏ ⏁⊑⟒ ⋔⟒⟒⏁⟟⋏☌ ⌇⍜ ⟟⏁ ⌇⊑⍜⎍⌰⎅ ⏚⟒ ☊⌰⟒⏃⍀." (Speak in Ender as to not set off the alarms. Follow me and never stray too far behind. The Ender are in the meeting so it should be clear.) He speaks quickly. "⍜☍⏃⊬" (Okay) In speak in Ender as told. I get up and join Ranboo at the door. He opens the door and sprints down the hall on quick, silent feet.

I follow Ranboo through the labyrinth of hallways until we reach an exit. "⎅⍜ ⊬⍜⎍ ⊑⏃⎐⟒ ⏃ ⌇⏃⎎⟒ ⌿⌰⏃☊⟒ ⏁⍜ ☌⍜?" (Do you have a safe place to go?) He asks me. "⋏⍜⏁... ⍀⟒⏃⌰⌰⊬..." (Not... Really...) I respond. "⟟ ⊑⏃⎐⟒ ⏃ ⌿⌰⏃☊⟒ ⏁⊑⏃⏁ ⊬⍜⎍ ☊⏃⋏ ⌇⏁⏃⊬ ⟟⋏. ⏁⊑⟒ ⟒⋏⎅⟒⍀⌇ ⍙⟟⌰⌰ ⏚⟒ ⌰⟒⏃⎐⟟⋏☌ ⎎⍜⍀ ☌⍜⍜⎅ ⟟⋏ ⏃ ⎎⟒⍙ ⎅⏃⊬⌇ ⌇⍜ ⟟ ⍙⍜⋏'⏁ ⏚⟒ ⏃⍀⍜⎍⋏⎅ ⋔⎍☊⊑ ⌰⍜⋏☌⟒⍀." (I have a place that you can stay in. The Enders will be leaving for good in a few days so I won't be around much longer.) Ranboo tells me. "Well what if you stayed here? With me?" I ask in English. He contemplates it. "I'll have to ask Zephyr about it. She's the leader of the Enders." He replies in English now.

We hear a commotion from down the hallway indicating that the meeting was over. Ranboo picks me up and teleports to a cottage hidden in a small forest. He sets me down and opens the door for me. "This is where I live! You can stay here as long as you want." He says. "Thanks!" I reply as I walk in. Ranboo, who had been wearing a cloak the whole time, takes off his cloak to show what he was wearing. A plain white T-Shirt with a Hawaiian shirt as a vest and jeans. The cloak had also been pulled over his head hiding his pointed ears and duel coloured hair. A long tail had been hidden behind the cloak as well.

"What are you supposed to be anyway?" I ask Ranboo. "I am half Ender and the other half is unknown to me. I don't remember my parents at all and that leaves me in the dark about my other half." He says. "Oh..." Is all I can say. "You should probably eat. How does bacon and eggs sound?" He asks. "Sounds great!" I reply.
